If you get tired of being on the untarred road and you decide to go back onto the tarred one, here are some advices you need to follow to help you enjoy the most comfortable, relaxing and exciting journey.
·
PRAY FERVENTLY
To
move from an untarred road to a tarred road, you have to fill the pothole,
which refers to misunderstandings in relationships. The first thing to do when
filling a pothole is to get some gravels, sand, cement. To solve a
misunderstanding in any relationship, you need to pray fervently. The
ingredients for prayer are your Bible, faith and hope.
After
studying the Bible, you must meditate upon the words, believing in whatever has
been said and hoping that whatever you need shall be provided through your prayer.
The book of Mark 11:24 says, “Therefore I say to you, what things so ever ye
desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them.”
Communicate
with God through prayers, telling him all that you are going through in the
relationship, and He shall restore everything as it used to be. Don’t stop
praying, for the Bible says that the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous
man avails much (James 5:16). Prayer is the master key—use it well and you
would never ever regret it.

TRUST GOD AND YOUR PARTNER
Before
filling the pothole, you got some ingredients such as sand, cement and gravels.
Now, you need to add water to those ingredients. The water symbolizes trust in
a relationship. After praying about your relationship, develop a different kind
of trust towards your partner. Mix prayers with trust because without trust, it
will be difficult for the relationship to be sustained.
Trust
is one of the most important foundations in building a relationship. Without it,
the relationship that appears to be standing firm will just be blown away
(break up) with a little wind (doubt). Always build your relationship with
trust and it will go a long way for you.
Proverbs3:5
says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own
understanding.” Trust God for a turnaround in your relationship for God alone
can be trusted in such situations.
The
moment you begin to have doubts about your partner, confront him or her for an
explanation before drawing conclusions. Don’t always listen to what people tell
you; at times, they may be against your relationship or may have feelings for your
partner, so be vigilant and very careful of rumors.

LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY
After
mixing the ingredients with water, you have now come to the point of filling up
the pothole. The best way to fill up a pothole is by gently pouring the
concrete into the hole—this stands for love. Love gently and unconditionally.
When you pour out prayers, trust in your partner and love unconditionally, your
relationship will be filled to capacity.
Love is very
important when solving issues of misunderstandings. Don’t love selfishly,
always expecting something in return. Don’t always be at the receiving end of
love—give yours out also. 1 John 3:18 talks about not loving in word or in
tongue, but in deed and in
truth.
Some people always profess love to their partners, but their actions do not
show. Start loving in truth and deed, for that’s the best way to express
your love to your partner.
1 John
4:18 says, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because
fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love”
(NIV). The moment you begin to love without fear or insecurities, not thinking
of your partner betraying, disappointing and dumping you, you love freely and
unconditionally. Such love ensures a smooth journey to marriage because there
is no time for insecurities or fear that your partner may hurt you.
Love
is patient; it never gives up. It makes the hard heart tender, refreshes the
mind, endures pain, forgives and forgets. Love gives meaning to one’s life—it energizes
the weak heart. Love gives you the power to fight and break all the odds that
you encounter. Love makes you feel relaxed and happy always.
